## About the Role

Experteer Overview In this role you will design and operate a large-scale, resilient satellite-communications platform that powers Emergency SOS, Roadside assistance, and Messages when off-grid. You'll build end-to-end infrastructure and software platforms with a no-ops culture, enabling global services used by millions. You'll influence distributed systems design and cloud infrastructure, shaping reliable, real-time capabilities at scale. This is a mission-driven opportunity to impact everyday safety and connectivity for Apple devices. Compensation / Benefits * Design, build and maintain large-scale distributed systems and cloud infrastructure * Contribute to architecture and run end-to-end infrastructure including provisioning, monitoring, and deployment * Operate and improve multi-cluster, highly available services * Implement infrastructure-as-code and automated deployment pipelines * Work with cross-functional teams to scale services globally * Optimize real-time and batch aal
_ processing pipelines * Ensure security and zero-trust principles in service delivery * Troubleshoot operational issues and drive reliability improvements Tasks * 5+ years of software engineering or DevOps experience * Strong programming skills in Python, Go, Rust, or C++ * Proficient with Linux/UNIX and systems administration * Experience with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) and infrastructure-as-code tools * Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) * Experience with monitoring/metrics platforms (e.g., Splunk, Prometheus) * Experience with distributed systems (consensus algorithms, replication, HA) * Experience with real-time or batch data processing (Kafka, Spark, Flink, Beam) * Knowledge of zero-downtime deployments and event-driven architectures * Interest or experience in IoT/Edge compute and RF/satellite domains Key requirements *
